Babesia divergens

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Babesia divergens is an intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite transmitted by Ixodes ricinus ticks. It is found predominantly in Europe where it significantly impacts the livestock industry, with major implications for cattle health and productivity. Given its zoonotic potential, it also poses a 40% mortality risk to human health, particularly among medically vulnerable individuals. Recent seroepidemiologic studies highlighted an alarming increase in parasite prevalence among humans, ranging from 2% to 39%. As of now, no commercially available vaccine targets B. divergens infection, and no Babesia-specific treatment is approved for human clinical use. The life cycle of B. divergens involves asexual merogony in host erythrocytes, followed by sexual gamogony in the tick midgut, and asexual sporogony in the tick salivary glands. Classified as a Babesia species sensu stricto, B. divergens is capable of transmitting infection through maternal ticks to offspring (transovarial transmission).
